    “A really great stay at such a lovely, well kept cottage.”

    Very modern open plan style with the owners having thought through and providing every necessary item, even tabs for the dishwasher! I was a little concerned that we wouldn't be warm enough with a heat pump system installed but pleasantly surprised at it's efficiency. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the venue. Thanks for a really good stay.

    Hi Thank you for your lovely feedback. Bev works very hard to think about what guests need and to present the cottage in the best light. The heat pump is very efficient and the property is super insulated. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Regards Bev and Clive Property Owner
